PLATFORM GAME
Title: Platform Game
Type: Commission
Commissioner: Sharky & George

Description: These illustrations were created for a series of six ‘puzzle books’. One of them, "The Book of Gaming”, references the famous platform game "Super Mario”. I was commissioned to create four illustrated levels in the style of Super Mario. By navigating the tubes in the correct order, the player was collecting a series of letters, key to finding a secret location - can you guess which one it is?
